- A
$100$
- B
$1000$
- ✓
$10000$
- D
$100000$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $10000$
c
(c) ${(1 + 100)^{100}} = 1 + 100.100 + \frac{{100.99}}{{1.2}}.{(100)^2} + \frac{{100.99.98}}{{1.2.3}}{(100)^3} + ....$

The last digit in ${7^{300}}$ is
Answerc
(c) We have ${7^2} = 49 = 50 - 1$
Now, ${7^{300}} = {({7^2})^{150}} = {(50 - 1)^{150}}$
= $^{150}{C_0}{(50)^{150}}{( - 1)^0} + {\,^{150}}{C_1}{(50)^{149}}{( - 1)^1} + ...... + {\,^{150}}{C_{150}}{(50)^0}{( - 1)^{150}}$
Thus the last digits of ${7^{300}}$ are $^{150}{C_{150}}.1.1$ $i.e., 1$.

If the coefficients of ${T_r},\,{T_{r + 1}},\,{T_{r + 2}}$ terms of ${(1 + x)^{14}}$ are in $A.P.$, then $r =$
Answerd
(d) ${T_{r\,}} = {\,^{14}}{C_{r - 1}}\,{x^{r - 1}}\,;\,\,{T_{r + 1}}\, = \,{\,^{14}}{C_r}\,{x^r}$; ${T_{r + 2}} = {\,^{14}}{C_{r + 1}}\,{x^{r + 1}}$
By the given condition $2\,{.^{14}}{C_r} = {\,^{14}}{C_{r - 1}} + {\,^{14}}{C_{r + 1}}$ …..$(i)$
==> $2\,.\frac{{14!}}{{r!\,\,(14 - r)!}}\, = \,\frac{{14!}}{{(r - 1)!\,\,(15 - r)!}} + \frac{{14!}}{{(r + 1)!\,(13 - r)!}}$
==> $\frac{2}{{r.(r - 1)!.(14 - r).(13 - r)!}}$=$\frac{1}{{(r - 1)!.(15 - r).(14 - r).(13 - r)!}}$
+$\frac{1}{{(r + 1)\,r(r - 1)\,!\,(13 - r)\,!}}$
==> $\frac{2}{{r(14 - r)}} = \frac{1}{{(15 - r)(14 - r)}} + \frac{1}{{(r + 1)r}}$
==> $\frac{1}{{r(14 - r)}} - \frac{1}{{(15 - r)(14 - r)}} = \frac{1}{{(r + 1)r}} - \frac{1}{{r(14 - r)}}$
==> $\frac{{(15 - r) - r}}{{r(15 - r)(14 - r)}} = \frac{{(14 - r) - (r + 1)}}{{(r + 1)r(14 - r)}}$
==> $\frac{{15 - 2r}}{{15 - r}} = \frac{{13 - 2r}}{{r + 1}}$
==> $15r + 15 - 2{r^2} - 2r = 195 - 30r - 13r + 2{r^2}$
==> $4{r^2} - 56r + 180 = 0\,\,$
$\Rightarrow \,{r^2} - 14r + 45 = 0$
==> $(r - 5)(r - 9) = 0 $
$\Rightarrow r = 5,\,9$
But $5$ is not given.
Hence $r = 9.$

- ✓
$10{a^3}$
- C
$10{a^2}$

b
(b) In the expansion of ${\left( {{x^2} + \frac{a}{x}} \right)^5}$ the general term is ${T_{r + 1}} = {\,^5}{C_r}{({x^2})^{5 - r}}{\left( {\frac{a}{x}} \right)^r}$
$= {\,^5}{C_r}{a^r}{x^{10 - 3r}}$
Here, exponent of $x$ is $10 - 3r = 1$
$\Rightarrow r = 3$$\therefore $ ${T_{2 + 1}} = {\,^5}{C_3}{a^3}x = 10{a^3}.x$

Coefficient of $T_2, T_3, T_4$ are in $A.P$.
==> $2.{}^{2n}{C_2} = {}^{2n}{C_1} + {}^{2n}{C_3}$

In the expansion of ${({5^{1/2}} + {7^{1/8}})^{1024}}$, the number of integral terms is
Answerb
(b) Here , a power of $2$, where as the power of $ 7$ is $\frac{1}{8} = {2^{ - 3}}$
Now first term $^{1024}{C_0}{\left( {{5^{1/2}}} \right)^{1024}} = {5^{512}}$ (integer)
And after $8$ terms, the $9^{th}$ term ${ = ^{\,\,\,1024}}{C_8}{({5^{1/2}})^{1016}}{({7^{1/8}})^8}$ = an integer
Again, $17^{th}$ term =$^{1024}{C_{16}}{({5^{1/2}})^{1008}}{({7^{1/8}})^{16}}$
= An integer.
Continuing like this, we get an $A.P.$ $1, 9, 17, ...., 1025,$
because $1025^{th}$ term = the last term in the expansion
$ = {\,^{1024}}{C_{1024}}{\left( {{7^{1/8}}} \right)^{1024}} = {7^{128}}$(an integer)
If $n$ is the number of terms of above $A.P$. we have
$1025 = {T_n} = 1 + (n - 1)8\,\,\, \Rightarrow n = 129$.

Obviously, $r$ should be a multiple of $6.$

The value of $x$ in the expression ${[x + {x^{{{\log }_{10}}}}^{(x)}]^5}$, if the third term in the expansion is $10,00,000$
Answera
(a) ${T_3} = {\,^5}{C_2}.{x^2}{({x^{{{\log }_{10}}x}})^3} = {10^6}$
Put . $^5{C_2} = 10\,\,\,\,\,[{\log _{10}}10 = 1]$
If $x = 10$, then ${10^3}{.10^{2.1}} = {10^5}$ is satisfied.
Hence $ x =10.$

If the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^{2n + 2}}$ is $p$ and the coefficients of middle terms in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^{2n + 1}}$ are $q$ and $r$, then
- A
$p + q = r$
- B
$p + r = q$
- ✓
$p = q + r$
- D
$p + q + r = 0$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $p = q + r$
c
(c) Since $(n+2)^{th}$ term is the middle term in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^{2n + 2}}$, therefore $p = {\,^{2n + 2}}{C_{n + 1}}$.
Since $(n+1)^{th}$ and $(n+2)^{th}$ terms are middle terms in the expansion of $(1+x)^{2n+1}$, therefore $q = {\,^{2n + 1}}{C_n}$ and $r = {\,^{2n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}}$ But $^{2n + 1}{C_n} + {\,^{2n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}} = {\,^{2n + 2}}{C_{n + 1}}$
$\therefore \,\,\,q + r = p$

If the coefficient of $x$ in the expansion of ${\left( {{x^2} + \frac{k}{x}} \right)^5}$ is $270$, then $k =$
Answerc
(c) ${T_{r + 1}} = {}^5{C_r}{({x^2})^{5 - r}}{\left( {\frac{k}{x}} \right)^r}$
For coefficient of $x$, $10 - 2r - r = 1\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow r = 3$
Hence, ${T_{3 + 1}} = {}^5{C_3}{({x^2})^{5 - 3}}{\left( {\frac{k}{x}} \right)^3}$
According to question, $10\,{k^3} = 270\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,k = 3$.

If $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_3}}}$ in the expansion of ${(a + b)^n}$ and $\frac{{{T_3}}}{{{T_4}}}$ in the expansion of ${(a + b)^{n + 3}}$ are equal, then $n=$
Answerc
(c) Accordingly, $\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_3}}} = \frac{{^n{C_1}{a^{n - 1}}b}}{{^n{C_2}{a^{n - 2}}{b^2}}}$ ......$(i)$
$\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_3}}} = \frac{{^n{C_1}{a^{n - 1}}b}}{{^n{C_2}{a^{n - 2}}{b^2}}}$ ......$(ii)$
$(i)$ = $(ii)$ ==> $\frac{{2n}}{{n(n - 1)}} = \frac{{6(n + 3)(n + 2)}}{{2(n + 3)(n + 2)(n + 1)}}$

(c) Putting the values of ${C_0},{C_2},{C_4}....,$we get $ = 1 + \frac{{n(n - 1)}}{{3.2!}} + \frac{{n(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)}}{{5.4!}} + ....$

Trick : Put $n=1$, then ${S_1} = \frac{{^1{C_0}}}{1} = \frac{1}{1} = 1$
At $n=2$, ${S_2} = \frac{{^2{C_0}}}{1} + \frac{{^2{C_2}}}{3} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$

$0$

AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{{{2^{n - 1}}}}{{n!}}$; for all values of $n$ i.e., all even odd values
b
(b) Multiplying each term by $n!$ the question reduces to
$\frac{{n!}}{{1!(n - 1)!}} + \frac{1}{{3!}}.\frac{{n!}}{{(n - 3)\,!}} + \frac{1}{{5!}}.\frac{{n!}}{{(n - 5)!}} + ....$
$ = {\,^n}{C_1} + {\,^n}{C_3} + {\,^n}{C_5} + .... = {2^{n - 1}}$.
Thus $\frac{1}{{1!(n - 1)!}} + \frac{1}{{3!(n - 3)!}} + \frac{1}{{5!(n - 5)!}} + ....$$ = \frac{1}{{n!}}{2^{n - 1}}$.
